This week Koji was on solo duty and it’s probably a good thing because this topic is something that makes him super uncomfortable. This week he gave his son 11 pieces of advice around sex. Our favorite was his first… to masturbate regularly. Check out the whole episode (which is super short) to find out the other ten!

About Us

Koji wanted to impart all of his “wisdom” to his son. But of course, his son already thinks he knows more than me. So instead of trying to tell him now and having it go in one ear and out the other, he decided to record them here with the hopes that maybe… just maybe… when he’s ready he’ll listen to his advice in the future and not make the same stupid mistakes he did. He’ll also bring on guests to impart their advice as well.  Koji has no doubt their advice will be better than his.
